The McPhail Renovacy
Week 1 - Day 2
DAY 2 was a very busy day with lots of stuff going on. Patience did some gathering and dumpster diving and Euan did some work around the house. This is a very picture heavy post, so I'm going to divide it into smaller sections.
The next day was sunny and warm. The house was looking better already without all the shrubs and broken porches. Thank goodness there was plenty of old barn wood available for free.
Early morning
Back at the house
Later that evening
Finally they had some time to sit and chat. Euan wanted to talk about his plans for the house but Patience kept interrupting with talk of teddy bears and kids building blocks.

Euan looked at Patience, "what are you going on about? Why do we need teddy bears and blocks? Can't you see what we need to do around here?"
"Oh Euan, please stop talking about floors and walls for 5 seconds! I have something important to tell you. We are going to have a baby."

"A b-b-baby! Oh my goodness! You've made me so h-h-happy!" And he kissed his lovely wife tenderly. "L-l-let's t-t-ake a p-p-photo to mm-mark the occasion"

And they hung the photo on the wall knowing that this was probably the last time they would be alone in the house.

Patience tried her hand at dumpster diving again and Eureka! She snagged a Fortune cookie maker worth big bucks.

All of a sudden she felt a strange twinge in her tummy. UH OH! Could it be?
Yup, pregnant. No more dumpster diving for her.

She didn't really know what to do next so she simply wandered around town and ended up at a community garden. A lot of the plants were ripe and ready for picking so she helped herself to a few she thought Euan might be able to plant in his garden. Berries were her favorite.

While she was at the garden she discovered a huge pile of old green house windows. They looked in excellent shape. She took off looking for the caretaker to ask if she could have them.
"These would be so nice to replace the broken windows at our house. How much would you ask for them?"
"These old things," said the caretaker. "You can have them for 10 simoleons each if you haul them away yourself. Plus I'll throw in the old screen door."
"DEAL!" cried Patience. She then called Euan to come help her get them home. Doesn't that look better now :)

Meanwhile, Euan had been hard at work cleaning up some of the graffiti starting at the front door.

He then took all the wood planks off the windows, washed and re-glazed they look like new.

Patience came home and took a nice long soak in the tub while Euan learned to make salad for lunch, a nice break from pancakes.

After the dishes were cleared they tackled the upstairs graffiti. Euan would get it started with Patience following along to clean the remainder. They made quite a team and it was done in no time.
